Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Meet Neo! Neo is a gentle, sweet-hearted pup with a soft spot for comfort and kindness. He walks well on leash, always curious, and takes in the world at his own thoughtful pace. Neo adores pets, leans in for affection, and finds peace just being near you. Heâs looking for a loving home where he can feel safe, cozy, and truly at ease. If you're searching for a loyal friend who will cherish quiet moments and warm snuggles, Neo might just be your perfect match. Likes: Being gently held Being spoken to in a gentle tone of voice Couch cuddle time Burying his sweet little head into your arms (really any part of your body), your blanket, and your clothing Napping while being held close (either being the little spoon or resting his head on your chest while sleeping) Any and all treats Boops on the nose while on a walk (for comfort and confidence) The safety and comfort of his crate Being tucked in and swaddled at night before bedtime Insatiable appetite for chasing the ball outside (oftentimes one is not enough - see attached pic) Giving and receiving hugs Always being close by Dislikes: The basement - he will not venture down to the basement when you're doing laundry, but will loyally sit at the top of the stairs and await your return to make sure you're ok Getting into the car, but is fine once he's in it Neo is generally hesitant and shy when trying new things, but with patience and love, he will be brave and eventually get there. Once he does, he can get a case of the zoomies after having tried something new and realizing he likes it! He is a very special and sweet baby - we're so proud of how far he's come. He has even learned how to sit on command!

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
